Anti Hepatitis A Virus -Anti Hav-IgM

This test measures IgM antibodies against Hepatitis A Virus . The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a small, 27 nm RNA virus. It is transmitted primarily by the fecal-oral route, and is found more commonly in situations where unsanitary conditions and/or close contact among individuals exist. Contaminated food and water are frequent means of transmission. Although ~70% of children aged < 6 years with HAV infection are asymptomatic, older children and adults usually have symptoms and 70% are jaundiced.The incubation period is short, averaging 25 days and ranging from 15-45 days. Serum IgM antibody to the hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) appears at about four weeks after initial infection and usually persists for 2-6 months as the initial phase of the immune response. Subsequently, only IgG antibodies are detected. Serum IgG antibody to HAV generally persists for lifetime, conferring immunity to further type A infection. HAV is typically self-limited and does not lead to chronic liver disease or to a persistent carrier state.
